Zendaya Coleman has often said that the late Aaliyah has been an inspiration to her. So the young singer must be beyond thrilled to be playing Aaliyah in an upcoming biopic for the Lifetime network.

The biopic, ‘Aaliyah: Princess of R&B’, is based on the best-selling book ‘Aaliyah: More Than a Woman’ and will tell the story of the ‘One in a Million’ singer’s life and death, from her debut on ‘Star Search’ to her rise to fame and, finally, her tragic passing at age 22.

Zendaya stopped by ‘106 & Park’, SiriusXM and ‘Good Morning America’ on Tuesday (June 17) to discuss the role and showcase her sartorial style.

SiriusXM: First up, she donned a Romeo Hunte dress shirt with an off-centre collar for a unique twist. Pairing the look with Romeo Hunte ‘Crosby’ drop-crutch trousers in a plaid print, she amped up this mannish approach. Slicked-back tresses and black Christian Louboutin ‘So Kate’ pumps completed this directional look.

‘106 & Park’: Opting for blush tones, the actress/singer wore an Alexia Ulibarri sweater dress styled with another pair of ‘So Kate’ Louboutin pumps and a stack of gold bracelets on both wrists.

Both looks are great without trying too hard. I love how there is always a twist; however, the Romeo Hunte is my favourite.

I don’t understand this. What’s wrong with her trying to present herself well and make an effort.? It’s not right to slate someone for looking bad and then also for looking good! Then you’re just universally bashing woman

Personally I think she looks like she, or perhaps her stylist, is putting in A LOT of needless effort to look effortless and edgy. For instance her Grammy’s Ungaro was amazing and she wore it so well and looked so naturally effortless. I just don’t particularly like both of these looks it’s not personal, I am entitled to my own opinion.

I’m going to answer because I feel like you didn’t understand my message.

Personally, Zendaya always leaves me with the impression that she is trying way too hard to be cool. Obviously, it’s not the effort to look good that bothers me, as that’s why we’re all here – to appreciate women’s efforts to look their best.

So, it’s not right for you to rush to harsh conclusions like “Then you’re just universally bashing woman”.:)
